Here’s that story I hyped a few days ago: “James Wright was having some trouble with the science TAKS test last year at Wilmer-Hutchins’ Alta Mesa Elementary. He says his teacher was willing to help. ‘The teacher would walk around the class during the test and be like, “Hey, that’s wrong,” ’ said James, now a 12-year-old sixth-grader at Kennedy-Curry Middle School. ‘You’d go through the answers and you’d say, “Is this the right one?” They’d say “nope.” And you’d say, “Is this the right one?” And they’d say “nope” until you got the right one. Then they’d say “Yeah” and nod their head.’ He’s one of several students and teachers in Wilmer-Hutchins schools who have come forward to support suspicions first raised by a Dallas Morning News data analysis that cheating took place on the TAKS tests.”

Yesterday’s story: “A prominent business leader and a former interim Dallas superintendent will be the state overseers in Wilmer-Hutchins.”
